Frequently Asked Questions

A few things readers often ask about the products, places, and recommendations you’ll find on Marneys Tidbits.

Are the products and places you feature sponsored?

Some are, yes — and I’m always honest about it. But I only ever partner on something I genuinely love: a product I’ve actually tried, or a place I’ve truly been. If I don’t love it myself, it won’t appear here, sponsored or not.

Do you earn a commission from the links you share?

If a post includes affiliate links, I may earn a small commission when you buy through them — always at no extra cost to you. It never changes what I feature; I only share things I genuinely love.

How do you decide what to recommend?

I’m picky. I look for things that are beautiful, well made, and genuinely useful — the tidbits I’d pass along to a good friend. If it hasn’t earned a place in my own routine, travels, or home, it doesn’t make the cut.

Where can I buy the products you write about?

Wherever possible I link directly to the product or brand inside each post, so you can find exactly what I’m talking about. If something is hard to track down, send me a note and I’ll happily point you in the right direction.

How often do you publish new tidbits?

New posts go up regularly across beauty, fashion, wellness, travel, home & garden, and food. The surest way never to miss one is to subscribe — I’ll send the latest straight to your inbox.

How can I get in touch or work with you?

I’d love to hear from you — whether it’s a question, a recommendation of your own, or a partnership idea. You can always reach me through the Contact page.
